Bruce lee is a cultural icon, who sadly passed in his early thirties, just before making what would've been his best movie, Game Of Death. But because of an allergy to certain pain killers, we are without his genius. He has impacted so many cultures in so many ways, he has become immortalized in memory.

Not substantial enough for the legacy of a legend. Also they used the worst examples of John Woo films. Also a lot of Ratner. RZA's dope though. But imagine interviewing Tarantino about Lee? I don't know... there's some cool stuff. It's a History Channel documentary, fuggit, it's a'ight.

Especially appreciated the acknowledgment of Lee's philosophy within the UFC.

This is a very interesting topic but the movie has been made by very cheap way. Just plain interviews placed between scenes of Bruce Lee movies. It's more interesting to read this in Wikipedia than watching this collection of interviews.

Even if it sounds insane, few (famous) people have influenced my life as much as Bruce Lee. Since I'm a such a Huge fan there was really nothing new in this documentary, but it was a decent recap and worth watching if your a fan.
